Default Tree Sap removal

I've got a ton of little tree sap dots all over my car and was wondering if there was a method you guys use or a product you use to remove it. I'm not 100% sure it's tree sap, but it looks like little dots of super glue and when you scratch at it it messes the paint up. Most of them are very small, some a little larger but they are ticking me off beyond belief.

Thanks for the help!

Get a claybar. That will remove it. But you will need to wax the car after.

Isopropyl alcohol and a soft microfiber towel works well. A clay bar would possibly work. You can find them in most auto parts stores.
